nice start, no screws approach = FTW! is the inside coating just paint? lookin good! oh, and grandparents are FTW too, lol.

hell yeah.... looking good.

what team do you play for, lol! do you have the option of removing some of the interior panels in the rear? chop

looks good and sounds great, seen it when we where down there. cost friendly builds that look and sound great = FTW

nice build log, I like all the pics. I need to learn to take my time and do them like this. I also need to get the ol' lady to chip in on the fun too. lol. I mean don't get me wrong, she knows what a screwdriver is,............ it's just she prefers a long island ice tea! lol keep up the good work, it is inspirational to say the least. chop

is that 3/4" birch?

good looking work so far bro. that is smooth how you got the box in there. can't wait to see it all put together. keep up the good work chop

mines a 93, sorry.

wow, perhaps a small college class and 2010's santa will get me closer to what i need to have / know, lol.

I completely forgot to answer your question, lol. You take a DMM and set it to AC volts and connect it to your speaker terminals on the amp which is easiest. You also take an ammeter and clamp ALL wires of the same polarity together coming off that amp only. If you clamp + and - it will not read anything. So, you then get a live reading of AC volts x AC amps and this will give you wattage output. It's easiest to measure on a sine wave and have sturdy connections! i have watched you use these some and have seen multiple times where they are coming into play for my needs, i think santa needs to bring me a set of them.... what would be a good set, price and quality that you would suggest, keep in mind, santa don't spend very much on me, lol

they are rated for 400 watts rms. posted above, he he.... he will be playing loud hip hop, in a trunk of a caprice, i will do the install tomorrow and let you know, thanks.

thanks bro

the subs were wanting from 1.75 to 2.25 cubes per, i ended up with 5.48 net or 1.82 per. , tuned to 34hz. and 87 sq. in. of port area. so if he was to upgrade his amp, 1200 watts rms. would be very suitable, correct? OT : left comment on your future install in othere post.

wow, that sorta sucks though..... what is the way to measure what the subs are seeing? which tool do you use? thanks for the quick reply.

confused to what make and model of John Deer tractor does this wheel go to? and why is it posted here? lol what diameter are we looking at?

okay, i have gotten myself confused here, need some help fellars. oh, and only moderate flamming of the equipment here, it is not mine! lol American Legacy LA-2278 amplifier, 2 ohm stable @ 450 watts....... Three(3) Kicker CompVR 12"s , I believe they are 2 ohm DVC., 400 W.RMS...... If they are indeed 2 ohm. DVC., I will wire them parallel / series, so a 3 ohm. load on the amp..... if for some reason we find that they are 4 ohm. DVC., then the wiring will be series / parallel , which is a 2.67 ohm. load. ........ the question is, how many watts will the subs be seeing? I am assuming that there is a good chance that the amp will not do it's true rated power, but for all general purposes, what would the subs each see? Thanks for the help, I get confused if they each see the 450 watts or they will divide it..... when trying to read up, i see both examples but i never find out how to determine the math of it all. thanks again, chop

i like how you have picked a style and theme and have continued to tweak it out. nice ride, inside and out.

sweet build, nice equipment and install approach, crazy numbers. rattlebox317 will shit his pants when he sees this one. pretty sure he is buying a similar car in the spring.

thats alot of cash bro! glad the car is running again. nice vid. chop

Thats nice to say but its hardly anything, I know. I split my time between both rides and as of lately its a little to cold to work on them. Need to get back on it. More deadening! i will have to look up what part of CA. you live in before i accept it is a little too cold, lol.

318 sir , lol.

You put these two pics next to each other and...I couldnt help thinking of this when I saw you. Nice box though. I like the recessed look. some resemblence lmao ...... mike = marshall !!! ha ha ha , FTW !

another one for you bro. *thanks mike*

*thanks mike*

welcome , sounds like a cool project.
